I was at a neighbor hood get together last night & sat next to a woman in her 90’s & she mentioned this song out of the blue. I felt smug when I realized I knew the song as well . She told me she could remember WW2.
This is soooo incredibly fantastic. Hard to believe that we "nowadays" have anything this well arranged, played, sung and performed. Thank you EVER so much, Pete Jacobs, and all the brilliant musicians of the great band and the wonderful, beautiful singers of the trio. 😃 😃 😃
What is with the comments section. Its a really nice performance but I would be shocked if any professional didn't get this incredibly basic song 100% perfect. The average performance today is a million times more impressive. Literally any major band and most small bands will be perfectly arranged and harmonised. I don't see the need to exaggerate so much. Just say its a nice song and leave it at that, you don't need to invent things for effect.
This is our Dad's fave song since he lived in trinadad before. He passed away the other day and got cremated yesterday. I miss you Dad. We Love you so much. Rest in Peace.
Discovered these young ladies while looking for “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy”. What a find. Created a 40’s songlist and included them, and the Wartime Revue.
This one is my favorite! These girls sing beautifully & the band is fantastic. They all seem to enjoy what they're doing which makes it more enjoyable. Grateful for this channel.
I rand a company the other day and had a proposed wait of 20 minutes. The music was modern and not to my liking and my wait was less than 2 minutes. Guess I will use snail mail.
You are so right, but just be thankful that we have the internet, I was born in '42, imagine how I feel, but now I can re-enjoy such luminaries as Kathleen Ferrier, Maria Callas, Benny Goodman, Chick Webb, Frank Sinatra, Johnnie Ray and of course ELVIS PRESLEY, who, for me and millions like me turned the world from monochrome into glorious technicolour,
I wonder if the people who saw this live, realised the quality of the singers performances and harmonies together with the musical arrangements. Absolutely superb performance all round.
Its good I agree but lets not exaggerate. It is about a simple a song to perform as is possible. If anyone didn't get this song 100% perfect then they would need to be totally incompetent. Even a total amateur should be getting the harmonies perfect with this song. It is basically a nursery rhyme.
Probably they didnt! The first time I saw this video I wasn't expecting much based in the video quality. When I heard the first Rum & "CocaCola" I was impressed, Wow! that Sounded Nice to the ear! By the time I heard "Working for the Yanky Dooollar" I was melt!! Each time i listen to this, I just have to stop what Im doing just to fully enjoy the Moment!!
Big Bands,and what a sensational combination of voices simply divine. Congratulations and thank you I like. From Brazil 17/06/2021.........[......] fui......
this is not only an amazing performance but when i was just starting out in life i was fortunate enough to win a holiday to Trinidad so this song brings the memories flooding back of amazing places such as Manzanilla beach and of course drinking rum and coke which i do to this day...

Live Free Or Die opinion and taste are the same, your taste and opinion is different then mine it’s a good song in my eyes, now let’s stop going back and forth like children I gotta get back to work
J’adore cette chanson qui n’est plus très jeune. J’ai la chance de l’avoir en CD, et je l’écoute toujours avec plaisir. Metz France le 8/6/2020. Merci du partage. Amitiés et bisous
That is some magnificent singing and harmonies by those three lovely lasses. Well done! Patti Andrews once said that she and her sisters were so young and naive when they recorded this now-standard that they had no idea what the lyrics were all about.
